The book and I secret ourselves Behind the paneled door. We merge our thoughts in retrospect Of ancient mystic lore. We spend a pleasant quiet hour, Nor know it passed us by... The easy chair, the shaded lamp, A well-loved book and I. ↗

The hero was the sort of character you could feel yourself falling in love with, no matter how much you tried to convince yourself that he wasn't real ↗

My favorite thing in the world to do is read a book. I read Heidi, which I love, then I read another book, then I read Heidi again. If I stopped reading Heidi in between the other books, I'd be able to read twice as many books, but the thing is I like reading Heidi. So I do. ↗

I can't blame most people if they don't read a lot. Because they have their own preferences. If they find an article long, they won't even finish. So as to say, I am glad I have the love for "reading" for it nourishes your soul and yourself from ideas and thoughts of others, there is always something to learn. I just hope this sad fact of not reading well be not another reason of ignorance in judging someone. But I know this is one reason why also a lot of people are poor in spelling. It is not about finishing your studies in high school or an undergrad student in college. Learning is inevitable, lifetime and forever as long as you live. But learning will only happen to those who have interest in improving themselves, upgrading their knowledge and reaching out for a better self. ↗

اعذرني !! لن ألوث طهري ونقائي لمجرد إرضائك ، ولن أدنس مبادئي لأكسب شرف قربك مني .. ولن أنزع رداء الطفولة من روحي من ذاتي من وجداني .. لأكون في نظرك أنثى كاملة النضوج هذه أنا إن أردتني بطهري بطفولتي بنقائي بوفائي بعطائي !! وإن لم ترغب بنجلائك كما هي .. إذهب إليهن وغادرني فكثيرات ياسيدي من هن بحجم رغباتك ! وقليلات / قليلات من هن بحجم نقائي ! ↗

I know that books seem like the ultimate thing that’s made by one person, but that’s not true… Every reading of a book is a collaboration between the reader and the writer who are making the story up together. ↗

I don't mind nothing happening in a book, but nothing happening in a phony way--characters saying things people never say, doing jobs that don't fit, the whole works--is simply asking too much of a reader. Something happening in a phony way must beat nothing happening in a phony way every time, right? I mean, you could prove that, mathematically, in an equation, and you can't often apply science to literature. ↗
